srimate RAMANUJAYA namaha A prapanna after leaving the body immediately reaches the surya loka through the rays without any delay as per the upanishads & brahmasutras.Even it is argued that if a prapanna leaves his body in the night he reaches surya loka through the subtle rays of sun in the form of heat.Hence he does not stay here for 12 days like other mortals.We do shraddham every year for prapanna as our duty as enjoined by vedas & also for lokasangrahartam.It has nothing to do with departed soul which has reached paramapadam.But if we miss the shraddam ,sin will get accumulated in our account. dasan On Sat, 16 Oct 2004 Rajagopalan Narayan wrote : > > >Dear colleagues, >This is my reaction to the doubt raised. >The jevathma is assured of vaikuntaprapthi if the charanagathi has berm >performed with all five angas through a na acharyan.
